Miss Marie Amen is making a very
excellent crayon of her father. The M.
A. T. doesn't pride himself on his artis-
tic taste, but this crayon work seems to
be faithful and accurate portrayal OF
Mr.. Amen, and surely reflects great cred.

exhibition at Mr.. Emmerling's jewelry
store, where all can see for themselves.

The Conservatory chorus class met and
organized last Friday evening at 7:15 at
the Institute. There were about seventy.
five or eighty members present, most of
whom will be regular members of the
class. Prof. Mckenzie will give instruc-
ton for the benefit of the beginners from
the rudiments of music, 80 that a lack of
knowledge of vocal music need not be an
to joining the class. The class
will doubtless be one of great interest to
and benefit to the members, and OF gen.
eral interest to the churches and other
places where good music is always in
demand. The class is not made up alone
OF young folks, but number of married
folks, both gentlemen and ladies, are
members of the choral society.
The Smith Glenn wedding was one of
the most charming events of the season.
A number OF relatives were present and
witnessed the ceremony, which was per.
formed by Rev. Clark. The gifts were
and very elegant. The happy
couple are now cozily domiciled in the
handsome new building next to Colonel
Glenn's residence, and have begun the
journey of life with the best wishes of
the host of their friends in the Model
Town. The genial proprietor of the Pal.

epicurean wants of his less favored broth

Mr.. E. r. Pierson is erecting a house
that seems to the writer to be the most
practical and healthful plan of building
there is going. The house will be COM
bination of brick and frame work, and is
made by first putting up frame walls,
and then on the outside of this will be
. wall of brick half the width of the or.
binary brick wall. By this combination
here are several advantages secured over
either the frame or brick alone. The
inclination in the brick wall to damp.
ness is removed, while the exposed part
ls of brick and will last longer and look
better than frame wall. A building of
this material will also be warmer in
winter than one of frame, and through.
out the year of more equitable temper
ature. We believe this is the first house
If the kind in Hillsboro, and those who
wish to see the plan more thoroughly
